Only In Egypt (Menus and food)

[DJKeefy]

Hmmm I wonder why the
virgin cock is so merry?



I think I will give the
coronary a miss.



Only the Egyptians can find a
way to make money from crap.



This has got to be the best menu ever
for people who like exotic tastes



More poo and crap, lemon, garlic and
curry powder added to conceal the taste.



We all love sheeps with our hambugers,
shame there is only chips available now.



Carrefour is now selling live brown crap,
you might have to wait a few hours though.



Cold crap is better so Carrefour
made the witch version sandwich.

I personally love the 'Seafood Soap' in photo no. 3!

Oooh! there is so much crap to choose from, I can't make up my mind.

I personally love the 'Seafood Soap' in photo no. 3!

Soup and soap are one of the few things my husband always mixes up when speaking English, the other most common is oil and onions, but at least he now knows he's got it wrong almost immediately, so corrects himself, with a laugh. Wish I had so few mistakes with Arabic! My most common ones are the words for pigeon and bath, and water and number 100, sigh.

[Ruby Slippers]

WI, you are much braver than me even attempting to speak Arabic! Mine is almost non-existent!

I love the 'Rose Beef' sandwiches with sheebs. When I ordered it made the waiter 'habby.'

Just remembered one of my favourites - operjinn!

It took me a while, but.... aubergine???

This sent me looking for a menu photo I took in Hurghada last January. It had a section called Oriental Appetisers (me, I was imagining handsome young arab men.... Oops! Sorry, I digress! :oops2: ).
Possible choices included:
Metabel (?), Cole Sloe (Slaw), Ughurt (Yoghurt) and Aborigine (which, as an Aussie has always amazed but eluded me). Until now. Having read and guessed at translating your post, RS, I think they also meant aubergine on our menu! So, thanks, one mystery solved! ) But what is "Metabel"? We could only come up with vegetable. :dun:
